Distance learning programmes by the International Hellenic University

Distance learning programmes by the International Hellenic University

Courses in the new postgraduate programmes “MSc in Sustainable Agriculture and Business” and “MSc in Bioeconomy Law, Regulation and Management” will be conducted through innovative methods other than the traditional stand‐up lecture/demonstration. These methods use distance learning technologies to reach students in order to liberate learner-instructor and learner-learner interaction from time and space limitations.

The primary focus behind the design of our e-learning programme is our commitment to offer meaningful learning and help students achieve high satisfaction and develop complex cognitive and social skills that are increasingly valuable in the job market.

Teaching methods are based on learner-centered education standards and involve:(a) face-to-face or classroom based learning (students will be required to be physically present at the University for one or two days at the beginning of each semester)(b) asynchronous learning (students will use online learning resources and will be assessed through a variety of diagnostic tools and formative assessment techniques)(c) synchronous learning (‘teleconferences’ and virtual meetings will be held regularly during each semester) and(d) summative assessment (students will be required to be physically present at the University for the final exams at the end of each semester).

What our students say...

"The reason that attracted me most to the IHU was not only the facilities that provide plenty of space for studying and spending our time pleasantly, but the opportunity to get in touch and cooperate with people from different countries and origins and all these in my country!"
